Example Questions

Example Question #3 : Circles

Give in degrees:

$\frac{4x-\pi}{2}=3\pi$

Possible Answers:

$x=300^{\circ}$

$x=345^{\circ}$

$x=305^{\circ}$

$x=415^{\circ}$

$x=315^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$x=315^{\circ}$

Explanation:

First we can find in radians:

$\frac{4x-\pi}{2}=3\pi\Rightarrow 4x-\pi=2\times 3\pi$

$\Rightarrow 4x-\pi=6\pi\Rightarrow 4x=6\pi+\pi$

$\Rightarrow 4x=7\pi\Rightarrow x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

To change radians to degrees we need to multiply radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ . So we can write:

$x=\frac{7\pi}{4}\Rightarrow x=\frac{7\pi}{4}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=315^{\circ}$

Example Question #4 : Circles

Give in radians:

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

Possible Answers:

$x=\frac{2\pi}{3}$

$x=\frac{\pi}{5}$

$x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

$x=\frac{3\pi}{5}$

$x=\frac{4\pi}{5}$

Correct answer:

$x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Explanation:

First we need to convert $72^{\circ}$ to radians by multiplying by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ :

$72^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Now we can solve the following equation for :

$\frac{72^{\circ}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}{2x-\pi}=3$

$\Rightarrow {\frac{2\pi}{5}-\pi}=3(2x-\pi)\Rightarrow \frac{2\pi-5\pi}{5}=6x-3\pi$

$\Rightarrow -3\pi=30x-15\pi\Rightarrow 30x=12\pi$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{12\pi}{30}\Rightarrow x=\frac{2\pi}{5}$

Example Question #6 : Radians

Give in degrees:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}-x}{\frac{\pi}{2}+x}=\frac{1}{2}$

Possible Answers:

$x=40^{\circ}$

$x=30^{\circ}$

$x=60^{\circ}$

$x=90^{\circ}$

$x=36^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$x=30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

First we can find in radians:

$\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}-x}{\frac{\pi}{2}+x}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow 2(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)=1(\frac{\pi}{2}+x)$

$\Rightarrow \pi-2x=\frac{\pi}{2}+x\Rightarrow \pi-\frac{\pi}{2}=3x$

$\Rightarrow 3x=\frac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}$

To change radians to degrees we need to multiply radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ . So we can write:

$x=\frac{\pi}{6}\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=30^{\circ}$

Example Question #1 : Radians And Conversions

Convert the angle $\frac{7\pi }{3}$ into degrees.

Possible Answers:

$500^{\circ}$

$210^{\circ}$

$315^{\circ}$

$420^{\circ}$

$840^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$420^{\circ}$

Explanation:

To convert radians to degrees, use the conversion $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi }$ .

In this case:

$(\frac{7\pi }{3})*(\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi }) = 420^{\circ}$

Example Question #21 : Unit Circle And Radians

How many radians are in $300^\circ$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\pi\sqrt{3}$

$\frac{3\pi}{5}$

$\frac{7\pi}{3}$

$\frac{5\pi}{3}$

$\frac{2\pi}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5\pi}{3}$

Explanation:

Since $180^\circ=\pi\ \text{radians}$ , we can solve by setting up a proportion:

$\frac{300^\circ}{x}=\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}$

Cross-multiply and solve.

$300^\circ*\pi=180^\circ*x$

$\frac{300^\circ}{180^\circ}\pi=x$

$\frac{5\pi}{3}=x$

Example Question #2 : Radians

How many degrees are in $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ radians?

Possible Answers:

$160^\circ$

$210^\circ$

$150^\circ$

$180^\circ$

$130^\circ$

Correct answer:

$150^\circ$

Explanation:

Since $180^\circ=\pi\ \text{radians}$ , we can solve by setting up a proportion:

$\frac{x}{\frac{5\pi}{6}}=\frac{180^\circ}{\pi}$

Cross multiply and solve.

$180^\circ*\frac{5\pi}{6}=x*\pi$

$\frac{900\pi}{6}=x*\pi$

$150\pi=x*\pi$

$\frac{150\pi}{\pi}=x$

$150^\circ=x$

Example Question #571 : New Sat

Change $\frac{\pi}{5}$ angle to degrees.

Possible Answers:

$32^{\circ}$

$36^{\circ}$

$34^{\circ}$

$45^{\circ}$

$30^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$36^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In order to change radians to degrees, we need to multiply the radian agle measure by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ .

$\frac{\pi}{5}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{180^{\circ}}{5}=36^{\circ}$

Example Question #12 : Radians

An angle of 40 radians is equal to how many degrees?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5400^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$\frac{3600^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$\frac{7000^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$\frac{7200^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$\frac{720^{\circ}}{\pi}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{7200^{\circ}}{\pi}$

Explanation:

We know that one radian is equal to $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ , so in order to change radians to degrees we need to multiply by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ .

$40\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{7200^{\circ}}{\pi}$

Example Question #572 : New Sat

Change $\frac{17\pi}{5}$ angle to degrees.

Possible Answers:

$712^{\circ}$

$512^{\circ}$

$620^{\circ}$

$612^{\circ}$

$412^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$612^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In order to change radians to degrees we need to multiply the radians by $\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$ .

$\frac{17\pi}{5}\times \frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}=\frac{17\times 180^{\circ}}{5}=612^{\circ}$

Example Question #573 : New Sat

Change $75^{\circ}$ to radians.

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi}{12}$

$\frac{2\pi}{3}$

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\frac{5\pi}{12}$

$\frac{7\pi}{12}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5\pi}{12}$

Explanation:

In order to change degrees to radians we need to multiply the degrees by $\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}$ .

$75^{\circ}\times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}=\frac{5\pi}{12}$
